North Green Snowdrops 2015

[Brian Ellis]

Kind gifts indeed for their lucky recipients, a very desirable plant.

What goes around comes around, one in particular has been very kind to me and I know she will appreciate it, well they both will!

Still waiting grrrrr. But they do say all good things come to those who wait!

[Blonde Ingrid]

I hope everybody got what they hoped for. Interestingly, 'Prague Spring' has appeared on Ebay, with a photo from 8th March and a reference to the North Green catalogue!

As Diana Ross says:

"Oow oow oow oow opooow, I'm waiting
Oow oow oow oow OOOOOW, I'm still waiting"

I only ordered the one and I'm not sure what happens if that order was unsuccessful.  An email would be helpful but does North Green do emails?

[Brian Ellis]

Alan I wouldn't  think you would know if your order has been unsuccessful, that's why the cheques are limited.  I do know that they were extremely busy last week packing, and possibly they are still doing so.  I hope that is the case and you get what you want.

Thank you, Brian, I hope so to.  It was an early snowdrop, which is a current interest of mine but a type sometimes overlooked by other galanthophiles so I think there may still be a chance it will arrive.  Otherwise I'll have to try for a swap.

What one are you looking for Alan?

[Alan_b]

'Early to Rize', Mark.

Package arrived yesterday safe and sound. Got 5/8th of my order which I'm pleased about (bank manager not so !!) No Prague Spring, Green of hearts or Rushmere Green. Green seems to be very big demand this year!!

[Alan_b]

After rather giving up hope, my package arrived today.  Hooray!  This was my first ever order with North Green so perhaps they dealt with their regulars first?  I had ordered both 'Early to Rize' and 'Donald Sim's Early' (I had forgotten about the latter) and they both came - probably because neither is the latest nor deemed to be the greatest

My 2 snowdrops came in 2 mailings, both well packed.

[Alan_b]

My bulbs were well packed, clean but perhaps with rather less roots than I feel is ideal.  When I move my own snowdrops in the green some seem to have formed much more extensive roots than others.  I always feel a bit nervous about the less-well rooted ones but I have not been systematic about recording whether they suffer subsequently.

Well had my cheque returned this morning......................no luck this year it seems

[Brian Ellis]

At least the cheque was returned so you know you were unlucky and are not hanging on and wondering like some companies.
